Introduction A tapestry is a textile that is woven on a loom with a weft-facing warp. Two types of looms were used in medieval times: the high-warp (Figure 1.1) loom or low-warp loom (Figure 1.2). The warps are stretched vertically or horizontally respectively. Regardless of the loom type, the weaver is positioned on the backside of the tapestry and utilizes a handheld shuttle to send colored thread through the spaces left open between warps. Materials often used were wool, linen, silk, and metal
this sector has been able to withstand competition from the power loom and mill sectors. This sector contributes nearly 19% of the total cloth produced in the country and also adds substantially to export earnings. Handloom is unparalleled in its flexibility and versatility, permitting experimentations and innovations. The strength of handloom lies in the introducing innovative designs, which cannot be replicated by the power loom sector. Thus handloom forms a part of the heritage of India and exemplifies
she wove the most beautiful pictures into her cloth. You almost felt like the designs were moving since they were so life-like. People travelled from near and far to watch her weave and see her breathtaking designs. When Arachne was working at her loom, the whole world would stop to marvel at her wonderful talent. They said that the goddess of art herself, Athena must have taught her. Arachne was proud of her work. Maybe even a little too proud, since when she heard the people say that she had
Isabella Burke Mr. Wujek Western Civ Honors 12 April 2018 The French Industrial Revolution During the seventeen and eighteen hundreds, France went through some radical changes. The French Revolution completely changed its system of government, Napoleon became emperor, religion was changing, and so much more. Although France went through many transformations involving liberty and equality, perhaps the most relevant breakthrough was the industrial revolution. England was one of the first countries
Computer engineering, in short, is the study of the applications and advancement of computer systems. Research in this field includes but is not limited to: making technology more accessible, developing new systems that are faster and more efficient, programming software to work better with existing hardware, and using technology to improve the lives of its users. A relatively new field of study, the first college degree program in a U.S. College didn't exist until 1971. The history of computers
2) The Three Main Fashion Centres Within France Paris, Lyon and Marseille are not only the three largest cities in France, but they are also the main fashion centres in the country. Each city has played a unique role in shaping France as a fashion mecca. France has been called the world fashion capital for many decades. France’s capital and largest city, Paris is home some of the world’s most elite French fashion houses. The Golden Triangle is a name given to Avenue Champs- Élysées, Avenue Marceau
A computer is a general purpose device that can be programmed to carry out a set of arithmetic or logical operations. Since a sequence of operations can be readily changed, the computer can solve more than one kind of problem. Conventionally, a computer consists of at least one processing element, typically a central processing unit and some form of memory. The processing element carries out arithmetic and logic operations, and a sequencing and control unit that can change the order of operations
Preface The demand for computing devices derived from the need to efficiently do calculations and process data. There have been many different factors that have impacted the history of computing but none so importantly as the U.S. Census. The U.S. Census required efficient data processing because of the large numbers and various types of data it dealt with. The U.S. Census was the catalyst for the boom of computing technology. Its effects are still felt till this day. History of the United
government. Even The Analytical Engine was the first general-purpose programmable computing device. It has the essential features found in the modern digital computer. It can be programmed by using punched cards, an idea came from the Jacquard loom introduced by Joseph Jacquard. The Analytical Engine uses an analog printer for output, it had a CPU called Mill where the arithmetic processing was performed and a Store (as known as Memory) where numbers and intermediate results are held. The machine is powered
computer, has been around since 3500 B.C. in India, Japan and China. In 1820, Joseph-Marie Jacquard, a textile manufacturer in France, produced the loom. This device allowed the repetition of a series of steps in the weaving of special fabrics. This resulted in a fear amongst Jacquard's employees that their traditional employment and livelihood were being threatened. They committed acts of sabotage to discourage Jacquard from further use of the new technology. This is the first ever recorded cybercrime.
able to calculate polynomials using the differences method. After the Difference Engine, Babbage began his work on an improved calculating engine, the Analytical Engine. The Analytical Engine used punch cards to operate, just like the Jacquard Loom. The Jacquard Loom used punch cards to control weaving that created interesting patterns in textiles. The punch cards were used in the Analytical Engine to define the input and the calculations to carry-out. The Analytical Engine had two major parts.
alternate, more succinct He started developing this machine in 1834, and "in less than two years, he had sketched out many of the salient features of the modern computer". "A crucial step was the adoption of a punched card system derived from the Jacquard loom" In 1843, during the translation of a French article on the Analytical Engine, Ada Lovelace wrote, in one of the many notes she included, an algorithm to compute the Bernoulli numbers, which is considered to be the first computer program.

scientific researches. Among these textiles are good example.. a dictionary definition of the noun 'textile' is a woven fabric and d defination of the verb 'to wave' is 'to make by crossing threads, strands, strips etc, above and below one another, as in a loom to form cloth'.(sheila landi1998,-10-11). Textile are remarkable and exist in many forms. they can be made from a wide range of fibers including: cotton , flax, wool, silk, acrylic and polyester. the process involved in making textiles from these
first to do these mathematical calculations though. In 1623 AD Wilhelm Schickard invented “The Calculating Clock” which would perform operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In the year 1801 Jacquard Loom devised a punch card system with a power loom and an automatic card reader. Later that century in 1890 Herman Hollerith invented a census calculator that put each person’s information on a punch card and sent it through an electrical/mechanical tabulating machine. This

solve math problems. The abacus was strictly manual and the desire for an automated machine grew. One of the earliest automated machines was invented in the nineteenth century when French weaver, Joseph Jacquard, created a loom that could be programmed. Large hole punched cards were used by the loom to create geometric patterns. Aside from producing beautiful patterns, the punched cards were later modified to become the main form of computer input. The system of punch cards led to the first successful
DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTERS OVER THE DECADES A Computer is an electronic device that can receive a set of instructions, or program, and then carry out this program by performing calculations on numerical data or by compiling and correlating other forms of information. The modern world of high technology could not have come about except for the development of the computer. Different types and sizes of computers find uses throughout society in the storage and handling of data, from secret governmental
Since hundreds of years of mankind existence, there are millions of inventions have been created and until now the numbers of new inventions are still growing but there is one invention that probably should be said as the King. Yes, that’s right, it’s the Computer. Computers nowadays could not be separated from the mankind especially from this modern world that we are living in. Without even realising it, we are using computers all day long until that extend that we cannot live without them. Probably
Ada & Grace: Practical Visionaries Imagine a computer programmer who still programs in bits and bytes and has never heard of the terms "bug" or "de-bugging." Then, stretch your mind much further, and try to imagine a world without computers. Most of us, no matter what age, don't have such powerful imaginations. But without the contributions of women like Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, who developed the first compiler, and Lady Augusta Ada Byron Lovelace, who made the idea of an Analytical Engine
The purpose of this paper is to identify the skill gap between employer needs and employee competences in the Indian textile & clothing industry and suggest appropriate training modules for bridging this skill gap. Recently many new technologies have stepped in to strengthen the textile industry but there is not sufficient qualified manpower to support the technology. The textile industry requires highly competent workforce to fully utilize the technological up gradation; else the big investments
